Milk Crate Bandits are one of Vancouver’s best traditional jazz bands. They have released two
EPs, The Neighbourhood and The View From Out Here both of which were recorded in New
Orleans with Preservation Hall Trumpet player Kevin Louis. After a successful tour of BC in
November 2017, featuring Brad Shigeta (Ellington Orchestra, Illinois Jacquet, Jack McDuff), The
Neighbourhood hit #1 on the CBFX jazz charts. Following on from this success Milk Crate
Bandits present a night of high-energy New Orleans jazz, intimate acoustic moments and
cheeky vocals at Hermann’s Jazz Club.
‘“The Neighbourhood” is an incredible integration of New Orleans authentic jazz,
scenic Vancouver lyrical illustrations, and original composing that results in a stunning collection
of new music’ - Vintage Swing Review (2017)
